What medication do we have available?

 

There are two possible choices when quitting smoking. We offer Nicotine Replacement Therapy or Varenicline (Champix). Our advisors will discuss all the available options to you during your first appointment, and depending on your requirements & nicotine dependence, prescribe you with the correct medications. 

 

FACT: While nicotine is an addictive substance, and you can become addicted to Nicotine Replacement Therapy, it is not the harmful part of the cigarette. With correct support, Nicotine Replacement is one of the most effective methods of quitting smoking.

  • The support worker Charlotte has been great, it feels like having a mate check up on you to make sure you’re ok and still giving up smoking

  • An amazing service and great support from Charlotte to achieve a very challenging end goal of quitting smoking. I am very impressed with the level of quality and convenience of this service and have recommended it to friends already. Please keep up the great work!

  • I’m very grateful that the process worked positively for me to quit. The support was appreciated on a weekly basis, this made all the difference.

  • The nicotine readings going down really helped me want to give up, it’s my nine months this week, and still not wanting to smoke is amazing, thank you.

  • Extremely professional in the way they approach the subject making you feel comfortable in explaining exactly how you feel when wishing to give up without the stigma attached to being a smoker in the first place. Excellent

  • No All was excellent particularly Jan who was so supportive and encouraging, she is also a very nice person, don’t think I would have found quitting smoking easy without out her guilt-free approach.

  • Really impressed with the level and nature of support provided
